HOW LUMBER LOOKS

The Douglas fir market showed further signs in the week ending November 8 that it is moving toward a firrner base, accorcling to Crow's Lumber Market News Service of Portland. With orders 2.5% over production and 129 mills operating, compared to 136 in the previous report, it indicated, however, that stability was being achieved through curtailmerrt of output rather than sustained increase in demand. Standard & Btr. and Utility green 1x8 boards have crept up

A TIME FOR, THANKSGIVING

"Let us be grateful that the foundations of freedom in our nation grow stronger with each passing year, giving hope to fettered peoples that they may walk as free men unafraid; that the yield of our soil and the production of our factories have been abundant, enriching our lives and enabling us to share our bounty with less fortunate ones in other lands; and that the forces of nature are being harnessed for peaceful purposes, bringing limitless possibilities of comfort and happiness both to ourselves and to future generations.

"It is also fitting at this season that we should consider God's providence to us thruout our entire history. Let us remember the Pilgrim fathers who, fleeing from religious oppression, landed on a bleak, forbidding shore and began to carve out what became this great Republic which it is our happy destiny to love and serve. For their foresight, their courage and their idealism let us give thanks to the power r'.'hich has made and preserved us a nation.

"On that day, let all of us, of whatever creed, foregather in our respective places of worship to give thanks to God and prayerful contemplation to those eternal truths and universal principles of Holy Scripture which have inspired such measure of true greatness as this nation has achieved."-(President Eisenhower's proclamation designating Thanksgiving Day.)

Pocific Gosst Lumber Co. Remodels Sqn Luis Obispo Yqrd

Pacific Coast Lumber Company, grand old veteran of more than 80 years of retailing lumber in the San Luis Obispo-Santa Barbara County region, recently expanded its San Luis Obispo facilities in another step to further diversify and prepare itself for additional growth and development in the area. The expansion, primarily aimed at increasing its high-profit, shoulder-trade volume, was marked by a three-day grand opening complete with $1,00O in door prizes and in-person entertainment supplied by Don Strassburg at his organ.

Mark that latter point-it's important. Entertainment-or at least piped-in music-can play a big part in any type of open house celebration. A public address system is also another must, Pacific Coast Lumber Manager Bill Oberholser noted.

Pacific Coast Lumber's nerv Z,ZN-sq. ft. San Luis Obispo showroom is constructed almost entirely of wood and is adjacent to the yard's sales office. The building has a natural wood exterior finish and is completely glassed-in on both street and parking-lqt sides. Store layout employs a central checkout counter and a separate contractor's sales office.

Showroom interior does not dominate attention; plywood paneling adds warmth to the room and shows off displays to best advantage. Center islands are all metal and moveable, and of minimum height to afford a clear floor view of the entire store. Full-length windows along two sides of the store and modern interior lighting provide excellent illumination. Wide aisles provide good traffic flow and impulse items are displayed where they'll do the most good-next to the central checkout counter.

The showroom was designed by Manager Oberholser, his assistant, B. J. Fitzgerald, and J. C. Huston of Santa Barbara, general manager of Pacific Coast Lumber Co.

Pacific Coast Lumber Co. operates yards at Santa Maria and Santa Barbara as well as the San Luis yard. The company's present yard locations in San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria were acquired with the purchase of the S. P. Milling Company on February 9, 1954. llowever, Pacific Coast Lumber Company has been active in the tri-counties region since the 1870's when, as General Manager Huston recently noted, "Lumber and building materials were sorely in need

in the area and the only means of transport lr'as by coastu'ise vessels."

Huston further reminisced about lumber schooner "deliveries": "Thev used to anchor off Point Sal in the 1870s and throw tireir lumber cargo overboard to float it ashore. It was then loaded into wagons and hauled into the back country. There were sometimes as many as 3O0 wagons and teams lined up on a one-way trail waiting for materials.

"A railroad u'as clearly needed," Huston continued, "and in 1873 it follou'ed that the San Luis Obispo Railroad Co. was established. First construction was on a line 10 miles long from Port Harford (Avila), but due to a shortage_ of money it proceeded slowly and did not actually Leach_San Luis -Obiipo until 1876. The townspeople of San Luls Obispo sponsored a big excursion to Avila on August 23, 1876, to celebrate completion of the road. The road was extended to Arroyo Grande in 1881, and to Santa Maria (then knorvn as Central City) and Los Alamos the following year. Incidentally, the wide streets in Central City were designed so that ranchers hauling grain and beans to the railroad (Continued on Page 65)

THE VISIT OF THE QUEEN of EngLand to the United States brings, to mind something that happened away back in 1855 between tvro queens. Ih that year, Queen Victoria of England made a visit to Paris and went to the opera one night in company with the Empress Eugenie of France. An Englishman, who was in position to see, said to a friend: "Did you notice the difference between those two Queens when they were seated? The Empress, before sitting, looked around to be sure there vras a chair waiting for her. Queen Victoria, being a REAL Queen, sat down without trooking. She was born a queen; she knew a chair must be there." Of the young Queen of England, we can truthfully say as did that Englishman just quoted: "She is a born Queen," and she will never look back to see if there is a chair waiting. She will know.

THE MORE YOU READ about Benjamin Franklin, and the more you mull over his words, the deeper becomes the conviction that here was a man who p,ossessed in copious quantities that mighty gift-wisdom. No wonder this nation came into being after the miraculous fashion that it did, when such a man as Franklin was a chief wheel-horse of the operation. As a fine example of the wisdom of the man, and his clear way of displaying it, here are some remarks that he made when the Constitution of this country was under discussion. Such remarks alone would mark him great, when he said:

"I confess that there "r"."";; parts of this constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them. For, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.

"It is, therefore, that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others. Most men, indeed, as well as most sects in religion, think themselves in possession of all truth, and that wherever others differ from therrr, it is so far error. But though many private persons think almost as highly of their own infallibility as of that of their sect, few express it so naturally as a certain French lady who, in a dispute with her sister, said: 'f don't know how it happens, Sister, but I meet with nobody but myself that's always in the right.' ***

"On the whole, I cannot help expressing a wish that

every member of the Convention who may still have ofjections to it, would with me, on this occasion, doubt a little of his own infallibility and, to make. manifest our unanimity, put his name to this instrument."

One is tempted to quote a remark frequently heard when giants of other days are mentioned, and say: "They don't make those kind of men no more." Surely, just as certainly as there are no Washingtons, Lincolns, or Jeffersons any more, there are no Ben Franklins, and little of the wisdom of which he possessed such a wealth.

QUICKNESS OF WIT, of course, is not necessarily wisdom. But it often gets results. In the great days of the French empire, an astrologer predicted the death of a lady friend of King Louis, whereat the King sentenced the soothsayer to die. And the King said to him, "Since you know the future, when will you die?" And the man replied, "I will die just the day before Your Majesty." The sentence was cancelled' *

SO WHY NOT TELL right here about the green newspaper reporter who was instructed to cut his news stories to the barest essentials, and make them short? So he turned in this one: "John Smith looked up elevator shaft to see if elevator was coming down. It was. He would have been 45 on the 9th of November." *:1.*

THE QUOTATION IS often written or uttered: "Enjoy yourself : it is later than you think." Same is taken from a book titled "The Bond Between IJs," written by Dr. Frederick Loomis of San Francisco. The foreword in this book is also impressive:

"This seems the time to remind many men and women that they will have more years and happier ones to do good for others if they will start right now to do something for themselves; to go ptraces and do things which, without decision, they have looked forward to for years; to give those who love them the happiness of seeing them enjoy some of the rewards which they have earned; to replace competition with a bit of contemplation."

And Merle Beynon -r,:", , "". to admire, the dash and the fire, the sparkle of thinkers progressive; the men who would purge the world of the urge, to be selfish and all too possessive. Sing praises galore for the thoughts I adore, that spring from the mind intellectual; their motives, I'ni sure, are so clean and so pure, so right and, of course, ineffectual.

" Babe, that there's what I catl4 SOUND FOUNDATION I " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with h.is pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts? Been settin' there 25 years in the damp an' dark, supportin' 50,000 pounds o' house-an' not a trace o' rot or termites anywhere. Sound as the day they was cut...Babe, sure as you're true blue, that's BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber 1a."

BAXCO pressure treated, FOUNDATION LUMBER

$Vhat else, Paul? For the past 25 years

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands 6f Western homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars. rU7rite today for free booklet.

Record High Workmen's Compensotion Insuronce Dividend Distributed to Lumber Xlerchonts Assn. llembers

The story behind the headline is one of successful cooperation by members of the retail lumber industry-cooperation which this year has resulted in the highest Workmen's Compensation Insurance dividend, over $"48,000, to be distributed to Lumber Merchants Association members participating in the Group fnsurance Plan. This represents a dividend of. 46.5/o.

The Workmen's Compensation Insurance Group Pl,an, written through the State Compensation Insurance Fund, was inaugurated in 1946 and offered to members of the Lumber Merchants Association so that they could receive the savings available through cooperative effort. Since 1946 almost $295,000 has been returned to the participating members, which refects an average dividend on their premium of. 38.5o/o-a ' record which is the envy of many industries.

{Jnder the Group Master Policy Plan, each firm's premiums are based on its own accident record independent of the group-this premium is fixed by the Insurance Commissioner and predicated on the firm's past experience; it would be the same whether a firm is insured independently

Add Your Voice to Industty's Affcrirs

IIIEiIIER

Because of the tremendous premium developed through the Association's Master Policv Plan-over $105.000 in 1956-the efiect of a single acciient is much less tiran for an independently insured yard which must absorb the loss from its single premium. Additional operating economies are also effected through non-duplication of the plan's administration.

To more effectively illustrate the savings which participating members have availed themselves of, we would like to cite the example of a "typical" yard covered under the Association's Group Pl,an and contrast their results with an "average" non-participating yard:

The "typical" yard, which would have an annual gross payroll of approximately $38,500 (other than owners and managers), in turn develops an annual Workmen's Compensation fnsurance premium of approximately $800 (2.22% of gross payroll). Over a 10-year period, the yard insured under the Association's Grouo Plan has received an average dividend on its premium ol-38.5/o vs. an historical average of approximately 2O/o for a non-group insured yard developing the same premium.

Jqck POIIEROY (lcfr), exccurivc vice-prcridcnt, Lumber ll/lerchsntr Asrn.; Robeil tlt. WltSOl{ (ccntcr), district rcprerentotiv., Stote Compcnrolion lnruronce Fund, ond (cnncth BUCK, cssiclont monogcr, lllANC through the State Compensation Insurance Fund, through a .private ingurance company, or through a Group Master Policy Plan such as that ofiered by the Lumber Merchants Association.

This premium is currently 2.22% of gross payroll for an average retail lumber yard (the premium was recently increased for all retail lumber yards f.rom 2.08/o). The dividend which is distributed annually to participaiing members is then based on the total claims filed not by the independent firms but by all participating members.

The table below more dramatically illustrates the savings available to the "typical" partilipating yard, assuming the non-participating yard would have approximately the same fluctuation in its year-to-year accident ratio as the participating yard.

The $1,460 additional dividend which the participating member has received is tangible proof of the savings which can be achieved by a thorough and continuing accident prevention program, actively supported by participating Association members, each of whom can be justifiably proud of his success in controlling the seriousness and frequency of injuries in his yard.

No, the story does not end here-the foregoing is but a report of the success which cooperation has achieved in only one area. Other Association programs of cooperation are equally advantagious to those participating. Lumber dealers are grouped for the lumber dealer's welfare !

Notionol Hqrdwood Assn. Celebrotes '60 Yeors of Progress'

The 60th Anniversary Convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Assn., held in Chicago at the Hotel Sherman the first week in October, fulfilled all of the advance predictions in every detail. The attendance was above normal, the speakers had messages of real interest to their audiences, and the entertainment at the grand banquet \\'as exception- ally well received.

President Hanlon called the meeting to order and presented his interesting talk entitled "6O Years of Progressand Tomorro'w." lfe sketched the course of the association through its 60 years and noted the splendid accomplishments which have been made during that period. He paid high tribute to previous offrcers and especially to the present board of managers and to immediate Past President T. M. Millett and lst Vice-President Franklin Griflin. He gave appropriate credit to the various members of the hea.dquarters and inspection staffs, and expressed satisfaction in the 'n,ay the affairs of the association have been handled this past year.

In his predictions for the future, President Hanlon stated that the long-term picture for hardu.oods never looked brighter. To emphasize this point, he stated, "The public is just now beginning to appreciate the exotic, exciting beauty of hardwoods in the h6ms-u,h6ther it be in the form of paneling, furniture or hard'rvood floors. It is true that we have lost some markets to substitute comlretitors, but r,ve must face up to the fact that our supply and clemand are in pretty good balance. There is no doubt that hardn'ood toda_v in ali its forn'rs sold to tl-re public needs a cr-rncentrated selling program-a direct to-the-public selling program, similar to that in effect in 1930 rvhen the consumption of hardrvood had dropped to a lo'rv level."

He pointed out that the gross I'alue of all 9 billion feet of hardt'oods produced yearly in the United States and Cana-

da, based on $90 per M' equals about $800 million dollars a year and offered the opinion that if the NHLA l-rad an advertising fund of one-haff of one percent of tl-re dollar value, it Ivould have a very substantial fund rvhich, he stated, "rvould very likely b-e enough to sell ail the hardwoods that rve could possibly grorv and produce on a sustained yield basis and at a profit."

In his annual report of the Secretary's ofifrce, Mr. Penclleton told the convention that during the past year the Inspection Department had attained an inspection volume of nearly 2o8 million feet, close to an all-iime high, and a greater total than in the \\rar years. He pointed out that 107 full-time and nine part-time inspectors rvere operating out of 52 districts. The membership stood at 1584 at the time of the reoort.

John Fishei execqtive director of the Canadian Tourist Association, presented a thrilling talk on the progress u.hich is being made in Canada and the close ties that bind the tr.vo nations. He pointed out that the close comradeship *'hich exists betr'veen the hardwood lumbermen of the trvo countries is an outstanding example of the type of cooperation which, if practiced throughout the rvorld, could lead to peace and progress instead of srrspicion and cliscord.

In his messag'e on hardrn'ood progress, H. Keith Williams, vice-president cif tl-re Kroehler Mfg. Co., spoke of his optimism for the hardrvood industrv. The Hon. Everett M. Dirksen, United States Senator from Illinois, held his audience in rapt attention for over an l-rour as he gave a highly inspirational talk.

The San'Gabriel Vallev Lumber Co.. San Gabriel. Calif.. of which Leland Muller is president and manager, continues its current expansion program with the purchase of the E. K. Wood Lugrber Company yard at Temple City, Calif., where the San Gabriel Vallev firm alreadv has a linevard managed by A, B. (Bailey) Muller. The dtial for the old E. K. Wood yard was to be finalized earlier this month. Baitey Muller, who will supervise the two Temple City yards, which "touch" each other on adjoining lots, told The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT last week that the E. K. Wood yard will be operated as it stands for the time being. It was remodeled a few years ago and is in fine shape. E. K. Wood Lumber Co. had operated its Temple City yard since the 30s, and San Gabriel Valley Lumber Co. has been "next door" since 1933. Dealer Muller added that two of the former E. K. Wood employes will be retained in the operation of the consolidating yards.

In addition to the Darent vard in San Gabriel and the now two sites in Temple- City, fhe San Gabriel Valley Lumber Co. also operates another successful yard in Arcadia, of which W. H. Marmion is manager. And now being built by the company is a brand new lumberyard at Irvingdale, a

TPt Offers Unusuol Distributor Deol on Polco Wool Insulofion

Unusual in the home insulation material business is the exclusive territory distributorship of Palco Wool Insulation offered by The Pacific Lumber Company to lumber and building material dealers as well as to insulation contractors.

"Material dealers have found various ways to employ this franchise profitably," states Ray P. Klass, Pacific's Insulation Division sales manager. Some operate an insulation contracting business as a separate division within their own organization. Others underwrite independent insulation contractors using their materials, frequently in conjunction with the dealer's own promotion and financing of complete building or remodeling activities, according to Klass.

Palco Wool is a redwood bark fiber listed and labeled by Underwriters' Laboratories, fnc. It has long been used extensively for home insulation as well as more critical refrigeration and commercial applications.

Details of the exclusive franchise plan are available by writing to The Pacific Lumber Company, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco 4, California.

:Stick-To- ltiveness in Selling

,r The successful salesrrian is not necessarily the brainiest, &e best looking, or the best dressed. He is the enthusiastic, :..smiling, patient, persistent persorrality who knows all about what he is selling, and believes in it, and who is overloaded ;i: with that irreplaceable thing called stick-to-itiveness. .,': It has been said by sales enthusiasts that the salesman is ,',the distributor and tollector both of worthwhile ideas and l,'the latest belly laughs. He serves to bring the people on , urhom he calls into comrnon brotherhood. The modern merchant has learned the truthlessness of the statement that i.f'everything iomes to him who waits," so he sends salesmen out to gather the harvest.

Can he compass his spirit with meekness, , And strangle a natural oath?

Can he courteously talk to an equal, And browbeat an ignorant dunce?

Can he keep things in apple-pie order, And do half-a-dozen at once?

Does he know how to spur up his virtue, And put a rein-check on his pride?

Can he carry a gentleman's manners, Within a rhinoceros hide?"

TECO to Celebrqte Silver Anniversqry qt November Meetings

Washington-Trventy-live years of continuous service to the lumber and rvood oroducts industries in research and engineering rvill be celebrated by Timber Engineering Company at its silver anniversary directors' meetings in November, according to Harry G. Uhl, president.

Organized in January 1933 as an independent, incorporated affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association for the purpose of promoting the use of rvood through modern engineering practice and researcl-r stuclies, Timber Engineering Company has achieved a leading position in the fields of timber engineering and t'ood product develooment.

Teco, as it is popularly knou'n, introduced modern timber connectors into American construction, opening the r,vay for far greater use of rvood as an engineering material. The Teco system of engineered timber constrllction is widely used today in residential, commercial, recreational and industrial buildings, schools and churches. For a quartercentury, architects, engineers, professors and student clesigners have been supplied u'ith the latest technical data developed by Teco's continuing research and engineering studies. These clevelopments have revolutionized tl.re concepts of timlrer design procedures and construction practices. Builders and lumber dealers have also received oractical information on building better and more economical u'ood structures.

In 1913, the Timber E,ngineering Company r.ood products laboratory rvas openecl, expanding the scope of its serr.ices, to provicle needed research zrnd testing facilities for lumber :rnd rvoocl product develoirment and impror.ement. To keep pace tr.ith the increasecl need for these services, fotrr major expansion programs of laboratory plant and ecluipment have been necessarv.

The latest expansion program, completed last vear, in-

cluded a fully equipped wood particle board pilot plant and companion facilities, capable of developing and testing any kind of platen type particle boards, with companion facilities and personnel for testing both platen and extrusion boards, raw r.naterials, production processes, end uses and markets. Custom built and conveyorized to stimulate a mass producing commercial plant, the facility is the only one of its kind in type and scope in commercial laboratories in the Western hemisphere.

A crou.ning achievernent c,f the u'ood industrl.-orvned service organization is the "Timber Design and Construction Handbook," the first master compilation of the essential basic information needed to design and build in timber. The 622-pase reference is the .n ork of four and one-half years by 26 leading specialists in the rvood industry.

lnlond Lumber Gompany Opens Los Angeles Soles Office

Stark Sowers, sales manager of Inland Lumber Company, Bloomington, announces that his firm has opened a sales office in. Los Angeles to serve the dealer trade in metropolitan Los Angeles and the Harbor area. Ken Schinidtke has been assigned as manager of the new location at 443 West 111th Street, where teletype service has been installed offering direct connections with all Inland purchasing offices.

Ken Schmidtke (left) has a complete education in lumber production and sales. During his school years he spent his summer vacations with his father's logging operation in eastern Oregon on the important j"b of "Whistle Punk." During World War II he was superintendent of logging in the Tillamook and Lane county areas in Oregon. Following this experience he became purchasing agent for National Wholesalers Association as buyer of lumber for members in the Northwest. He later handled sales in the San Francisco Bay

area, San Joaquin Valley, Salinas Valley and Southern California prior to joining Inland Lumber earlier this year. Ken has spent all of his life in logging, sawmill operations and all phases of sales and distribution.

"We are thoroughly convinced our Los Angeles sales office will filI a definite need to the dealer trade throughout the greater industrial district," said Stark Sowers, "and we shall rnaintain this location for the purpose of offering fast, convenient service to the dealer trade."

Ship Plonk Specificotions Modified

A tentative revision to the specification covering White Oak Ship Plank has been developed, according to an announcement by Colonel Cad M. Sciple, acting district engineer and engineer lumber control officer of the U. S. Army Engineer District, St. Louis. The specifications were relaxed on several important {eatures including sapwood restrictions, surface checks, wane, knot, knot holes, and worm holes. Alfhough the overall specification was relaxed, the Department of the Navy still requires dry White Oak Ship Plank. Further, the tentative revisions in the specifications should permit production of material from logs presently available without the serious effect on the usability on the item produced. It is expected that the revised specification will permit wider participation by industry.

The revisibn resulted fiom a'coordinited study in the problem of obtaining suitable material for this purpose. Because of the many-desirable characteristics of White Oak Ship Plank, this species is suitable for many uses. It is particularly desirable for boat and ship construction due to its nign stiength, the natural decay resistence of the heartwood, and its impenetrability to liquids. Papt purchasing experience has revealed a decreasing interest on the P?fl.of industry in bidding on Government requirements in White Oak Ship Plank due to the rigid specifications ?!d a ready market fbr this species for other purposes. In addition, timber stands from which logs that will produce the quality of material specified are becoming increasingly scarce.

Top Industry Firms Joining i;l{ome lmprovement Council

L A $125,000 "self-inventory" contest for homeowners in the first half of the year, through which 600,000 families are expected to submit a checklist of their home improvement needs.

2. A "perf.ormance" contest in the final half of the year,

with entiants submitting actual home improvemegt p-rojr ects to be judged on tlieir herits-again for $125,000 in prizes.

Local-level participation in the Home Improvement Council's massive 1958 program will result in more sales, more profits and a multitude of other direot and indirect benefits, said Don Moore, HIC executive director.

"Bigger sales and bigger profits are reason enough for most alert businessmen to become active HIC participants," he said, "but there are others . . . the satisfaction, for example, of providing a needed Service for the homeowner, of helping arrest the deterioration of homes and' cities, of bulwarking the economy in general."

For dealers, contractors, lendeis, utilities,'builders and others at the community let'el, the cost of participating is actually less than the cost of HIC's services and promotion materials to help members make the most of the Council program. Local participants will be sent several packages of display, point-of-purchase and advertising materials at no additional charge. Only Council supporters will be permitted to use the HIC seal, which will be widely promoted as the emblem identifying business establishments as the source of counsel and -helpful service for homeowners.

"If you catch one of your children lying, don't grab a club and run at him like an ogre. Be honest with him. Tell him the truth. Tell him you've told hundreds of them yourself. Tell him that between truth and lying, truth is the best policy. Tell him you know-you've tried both."-Ingersoll.

A Theme for Victory

(Quoted by Coach "Bud" Wilkinson, University of Oklahoma, on a recent TV program in celebration of the centennial anniversary of Theodgre Roosevelt.)

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, nor where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who tries and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasrn, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who in the end, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and at the worst, if he fails, at least fails wh'ile daring greatly. so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt

An l{onest ftlqn

He walked into the fish market with his fishing stufi over his arm.

"Just stand there,u he told the fish dealer, "and throw me five of those biggest trout."

"Throw them to you?" asked the surprised dealer.

"Sure," said the luckless fisherman. "Throw them and I'll catch them. I may be a lousy fisherman, but I won't lie.,'

Oh, call me up for ridicule, And fill my soul with shame, Reproach, abuse and obloquy, But don't misspell my name.

Inheritonce

Germanicus was a great Roman general, a splendid character, a broad-minded, good-hearted gentleman.

His wife was a gentlewoman in every sense of the word, a fitting mate for a remarkably fine man.

They had two children, Caligula and Aggripina.

Caligula became emperor of Rome. He was the worst Rome ever had, a beast, a degenerate criminal.

Aggripina, the daughter, became a monster in her own right, and she gave birth to a monster-Nero.

Students of family trees have written much about this strange inheritance.

Hod to Be Coreful

"What's yourn?"

"Coffee and rolls, please." '

One of those iron-heavy mugs of coffee was pushed over the counter to him. The fastidious person seemed dazed.

"Where's the saucer?" he asked.

"We don't use no saucers here," said the waitress haughtily. "If we did some low brow'd come pilin'. irr here and drink out of his saucer, and we'd lose a lot of our swellest trade."

King Producers

Tl-re August letter of Neu. York's First National City I3ank lracks a pol-erful brrnch of facts on the corrrrtry's 10-0 manufa.cturing corporations rvith the largest total assets. They are owned by 7,278,000 registered shareholders.

They employed 5,638,000 men and women in 1956, and their receipts came to $115,500,000,000.

About 27'/c rf the receipts l-ent for \\.ages, salaries and labor benefits. l-ess than {c/c was r)aid the nillions of shareholders. Taxes t<tr>l< 1O'/r. 1\[r,re tharr lL half of thc income \vas paid orlt for goods :tnd services.

'fhe total retained in their businesses bv the 100 too manrrf:tt'lurers rvas less than 4/o of gross inconte. ,\dtled to backlog o{ retair-red funcls f rom other years, it rvas not enough to pa1. for needed improvenrenti and expansion of production in 1956. A r.ast variety of expenditures in this area totaled $17,300,000,000. More jobs ! bigger payrolls ! Plain Talk.

This kind c,rf construction is as essential to the life of the natior.r as the building of l'romes, churcl.res ancl schoolsn'l-rich of course depend for existence :rnd sustenance upon factory, lleld and rvorkshop. N{ore marriages call for more homes. More babies, for more schools and cl-rurchcs. Grorving markets demancl expansion of inclustrial plar.rts-and this means rnore jobs to be h1led.

The r-rcu's letter of tl-re Nerv York b:r.r-rk takes notc :

"Such grolth u'iil recluire more and rnore people, rese;irch :rncl investment. To meet the demand for petroleum proclucts alone, it rvas estinratecl recently by an industry spokesman that the r.reu. capital needed ior the next five vears rr'ill amount to $60,000,000,000."

The Dim View...

Nel' York's grand old bank grimly says, "It is hard to see horv construction costs can be curlted."

'I-he National Association of FIome Builders (contractors) states that selling prices of nerv homes took a jump of l8/r, lrom 195.1 through 1956, and puts the median price of rren' lrcrmes in 1957 at $14,80O. This has been alrd is a stcep climb for the average familv that .rvants a ne\v home.

Nation-n.ide, prices of ltasic l>uilding materials are at about the same price level of 195(r, l'hile building \\,ages lrave curved upn'ard 6/a.In some areas this rise has been scr terrific that in one citv-Dallas-plumbers and steamfitters have r'oluntarilv cut iveekclay or,'ertime rates from double time to time and orre half. This report is from "Er.rgineering Nen's-liccord."

So thorrghtful labor leaders are agreecl n'ith other authorities or.r the main c:ruse of clinrlring costs ir-r 1957. These rising cttrvcs are danger'rus curlcs aheacl. Home builclir-rg can lre macle to skid into real trouble on the turns. arrd this rvould mean the clamping of ltrakes on chrlrch and school t:onstructiol-n1d on industrial plant expansion as u'e11. fhis dim vieu' is not your Uncle Jim's. It is that of a great bank of Nen.York, nnitecl n'ith that of plunrbers ancl stearnlit tcrs irr I )allas, Tex:rs.

NAHB Revises Housing Almqnqc

The National Association of Home Builders has just published a new edition of the Housing Almanac, a 144-page fact-file of the home building industry. NAHB President Geo. S. Goodyear pointed out that, although housing has always been one of man's primary concerns, it is only in recent years that home-buiiding has been recognized as one of the nation's basic industries.

"Today," Goodyear noted, "home-building ranks second only to food in dollar volume of production, despite the fact that our industry is made up of small businessmen, most of whom produce fewer t&ran 50 homes a year."

Realizing the need for a single publication rvhich could provide the general public and all segments of the industry l'ith a basic handbook and file of references relating to home-building, NAHB put out the first edition of the Housing Almanac in 1955. The new edition is organized for ready refence and includes sections devoted to the economics of home-building, special housing programs, the Federal Government and the functions of its agencies relating to housing, home building statistics, a chronology of Federal housing legislation and a special industry "directories" section. The publication contains up-to-date information throughout, including the lou,'ered FHA dorvn payments and 511 percent interest rate put into effect in August.

"Everyone connected rvith our industry-lenders, realtors, manufacturers, suppliers-rvill find ihe Housing A1manac contains information available from no other single source." Goodvear added.

Durably bound and printed in two colors ttrroughout, the Housing Almanac is available to NAHB members through their local affiliated home-builders' associations. Others may order it at $2.00 per copy directly from the National Association of Home Builders. 1625 L St.. N. W.. Wash.. D.C.

Morro Bqy Dockog for Lumber Borges Grqnted

San Luis Obispo, Calif.-Use of the collnty dock at l\forro Bay for the unloading of lumber tonnage which may reach l0 million board feet a month was approved by the county board of supervisors following recommendation of the County Planning Commission. The action is temporary until permanent financial arrangements are completed, it was reported October 23. The commission had met privatelv a rveek earlier rvith representatives of the Olivei J. Olson & Co. steamship lines ind Ralph Bowman, a Berk6ley, Calif., lumberman described as a broker for lumber consigned to this area.

Supervisors approved a "trial run" at 55 cents per 1000 b.f. charge for lumber unloaded at the dock. Steamship company officials told the commission the venture would not pay unless 10 million b.f. could be delivered monthly. Bolvman e*pressed a desire to start the operation immidiately

and said he rvould be strictlv a distributor for lumber consigned to this county at.rcl woulcl not retail it, it u'as brought out at the hearing. Borvman said he also plans deliveries to .the San Joacluin Valley from the Nlorro Bay unloading po1nt.

The lumber l'ould be floated in by barges u,hich Olson Steamship llepresentatives E. Whitney Olson and George L. Olscin, San NIateo, said lvould need only 14 feet of r,vater (there is 16 feet of water in the bay at lorv tide). The lun-rber u.ould be unloaded at the the dock by cranes ancl carried to the storage area. Borvman lvas given permission to use a concrete parking slab just off the dock for storage purposes until next April, u'hen tourists will need the parking area. By then, Borvman said he expected to have from three to five acres of county-orvned land bel-rind the PG&E plant in snape as a stofage area.

"Housing analysts don't expect a sharp upturn but generally agree that the million-units-a-year rate of starts during the last four months is not apt to decline and should increase slowly. Mortgage money is due to remain relatively tight but curtailment of industrial construction may make some additional money available f or homes. Rather optimistic predictions from California are especially welcome because California consumes fully one-fourth of the Western Pine region's outDut.

Nqlionql Attention Focused on Arizonq's Ureo €hemicol Process

Phoenix, Ariz.-The chemical seasoning process for lumber. that rvas developed in Arizona is norv receiving nationlvide acceptance, it is reported. Developed particularly because the state's dry climate cansed excessive splitting, warping and bou.ing of lumlter, the process is norv being found r"rseful even in t,etter climes. Ii the Urea Chemicai process, lumber'is treated rvitl.r a coat of substance to penetrate the u,ood surface, resultirlg in tl-re exterior surTaces drying less quickly and more e1'en drying of the entire sect10n.

Research on a chemical seasonir-rg formula rvas begun before \V\\-lI bv the \\'est Coast Luml,ermen's Assn. but its results n'ere not suited to Arizona's needs. So. a fer.v vears ago, Jack Jordan, executive secretary of thc Lumber-NIerchandisers Assn. of Arizona, decided to take up the study, cooperated t'ith such firms as the Braun, Dolv ind DuPoni chemical companies, and finally came up with the urea formula, donating his process to the association he represents. For a nominal cost, the LNIAA orovides iumltervarcls uith the formula and necessary spray rigs. Jordan has a patent pencling on the formula and plans a corporation to handle the product and process for use outside Arizona.

| 958 NRTDA Exposition on Weekend Schedule for Lumberyord Employes

The fifth annual Building Products Exposition rvill be held in Chicago in 1958, it is announced by H. R. Northup, executive vice-president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, sponsor of the shou'. It is scheduled to run November 22-25. Exhrbits and demonstrations u.ill be staged in the International Amphitheatre, rvith Exposition headquarters located at the Conrad Hilton hotel.

"Space sales for our 1957 show far exceeded those of any previ,ous year, and recluests for 1958 space reservations ar'e already being received by our Exposition office," Northup revealed. "This fact, coupled with the demands of our dealers for more and larger 'action' programs such as the equipment demonstrations and the incorooration of special rail cars as Exposition features. has made it imperative lhat rve

stage our 1958 shou, r,vhere rve will have access to r,rnlimited facilities fcir our demonstration programs."

In re-scheduling the 1958 Exposition from St. Louis to Chicago, Mr. Nortl-rup also pointecl out that the November 22-25 dales run from Saturclay through Tuesday. "Many dealers have expressed an interest in having their employes visit the Exposition. but l.rave been reluctant to take trained u'orkers o11 -their jobs cluring the rveek. The Saturday and Sunday scl-reduling of demonstrations and clinics will be a tlouble-barreled advantage for dealers in the area," Mr. Northup said, "because it rvill permit hundreds of lumbervard employes rvithin 'n,eekend driving radius of Chicago to attend the sholv r'r,ithout loss of time from their jobs."

It is tentatively planned to stress Saturday and Sunday zrs "Employee Days," rvith top management clinics following on Xlonday o"d l':".dol_

New Folder Tells Western Pine Srory

A new folder, "Timber," just ofi the press, tells the story of Western Pine region trees and forests. Published by the Western Pine Association, the folder features an easy tree identification guide for the 10 commercial timber species of the region, and reports latest statistics on the timber supply and lumber production. It is believed to be the first such simplified tree identification guide ever compiled for general use.

It reports the sawtimber resource of the region at 620 billion board feet, enough to rebuild every house in the United States, with some lumber to spare. How much timber of each species, how much in each of the 12 states, how much is old growth and young growth, how much commercial forest land in each state, and how much lumber is produced in the region is told in tables.

Planned to be specially.useful to schools, the booklet explains and illustrates how to identify standing Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir, Engelmann Spiuce, Lodgepole Pine, Larch, Sugar Pine, Idaho White Pine, Incense Cedar and Red Cedar, the 10 leading commercial species of the l2-state region.

A map delineates the Western Pine region, which consists of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and California.excepting the redwood region.

Retailers, groups and individuals wishing to give the folder wider distribution can get up to 100 copies free by writing the Western Pine .Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Ore.

tD MARTI|\| Rernernbers

Reforestation, the scientific growing and re-growing of commercial timber, was just getting well started in California in 1922. While most of the large holders of timber and manufacturers of lumber were getting started or getting ready to start growing new trees on their cut-over land, a few were already dipping deep into this idea of making trees grow.

I remember that the Union Lumber Company and The Pacific Lumber Company were already quite deep in the matter, and both were operating nurseries to grow young

trees, and changing their logging plans and operations to encourage second growth. Hammond was also starting to grow its own trees, and there were others I do not now recall. Large holders and manufacturers of the California Pines were also making plans to grow trees, and perpetuate the Pine forests of the State.

Likewise, both the Redwood and Pine industries were busy with scientific efforts to improve their lumber products by better methods of manufacture and of preparing their lumber for market. The columns of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT were well supplied during those early years with news stories concerning the better manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of the product. To get more lumber from the tree, better lumber for the market, and use better methods of distribution, were some of the well-advertised aims of the lumber industry of California.

Housing Hlstory ftlode of Son Froncisco With Center's First West Goost tlorketing Gonference

Marking a first step toward uniting the various business forces tha-t make up^the home-buildfng industry, the National Housing Center, in collaboration with House and Home Magazlne, conducted an epoch-making conference ht the Faiimont hotel in San Francisco on September 12 which has gone into the records as homebuilding's First Annual Extiiutive Marketing Conference.

A more d,etailed re?ort on lhe proceedings at the Fi.rst Annual Erecutiae Marketing Conference may be obtained upon u'ritt e n r e que st.-E d'.

Sponsorship of this gathering of top executives in the building materials and equipment manufacturing field and leading homebuilders was in keeping with the National Housing Center's role as a unifying force in the industry. The fact that the con{erence took place on the West Coast, far removed from the Center's physical facilities, served to emphasize the national character of this function.

General chairman of the one-day meeting was Richard 'G. Hughes, Texas and Oklahoma builder, who partlcipated in thiJ conference as chairman of the National Housing Center's board of trustees. In addition to his overall directiori of the conference, Ilughes was moderator of the afternoon session which had as its topic, "Essentials of a Strong

for the BEST in IOUVER DOORS and SHUTTERS itts

Manufacturer of QUALITY

,to"it"btell-st"ttdardand

Special SizesStyles for Every Purpose

Distributed tttto"g-Ut. gutar channels only to Retail Dealers

Housing Market in an Expanding Economy."

This .general subject was broken down into six major categorles:

Economics of Homebuilding, Relationship between Government and Industry, New and Improved Products, Architecture and Design, Solutions to Community RoadBlocks, and Financing New Houses and Trade-Ins.

Commentators on these facets of the industry included Albert M. Cole, Administrbtor, Housing and Home Finance Agency; Norman P. Mason, Commissioner, Federal Housing Administration; D. C. Sutherland, Bank of America; Alan E. Brockbank, past president of NAHB; Thomas P. Coogan, president, Housing Securities, Inc.; Edward H. Fickett, secretary, American Institute of Architects; George Cline Smith, economist, F. W. Dodge Corp.; Andrew S. Place, president, Place and Co., Inc.; Richard D. Hudson, chairman, NAHB Research Institute; and Perry I. Prentice, editor and publisher, House and Home Magazine. There was also animated floor discussion bv builder and manufacturer participants.

Goodyear on Advertising

Geo. S. Goodyear, NAHB president, called for more cooperative merchandising and advertising among builders and building-products manufacturers in selling homes. Mr. Goodyear pointed out at San Francisco that builders and manufacturers have generated a 130billion dollar market, but for the most part have done it independently of each other. He called for closer tie-ins in promoting home ownership and sales. He noted that each have a critical. common stake in each other's businesses.

The morning session, presided over by Perry I. Prentice, editor and publisher of House and Home Magazine, was devoted to the question: "fs Homebuilding Being Out-Sold?"

Commentators included David D. Bohannon, past president, NAHB; Frank W. Cortright, director of builders research, Youngstown Kitchens, and past executive vicepresident, NAHB; Donald D. Couch, vice-president of marketing, American-Standard; Stuart Davis, president, First Savings and Loan Association, Oakland, Calif.; Stephen J. Hall, administrative vice-president, Simpson Timber Company; John W. Norris, president, Lennox Industries, Inc. ; Charles K. Rieger, vice-president, General Electric Company; Clarence A. Thompson, chairman, Lumber Dealers Research Council.

Some of the principal points made in the summation of the conference by Thomas P. Coogan, Housing Center trustee, were:

o The necessity of keeping up-to-date at all times on the economics of housing so that builders, manufacturers, and government can plan together correctly.

o Maintaining proper relationship between the industry and the 22 agencies of government that can strongly influence the housing business.

o The manufacture of materials that are designed for the new house as well as the existing house.

e Get coordinated dimensional standards in new materials.

o Get a form of automation in home building, better tools

and equipment, streamlined to reduce l.rousing costs.

o Work out a closer architectural-builder relationship; and design houses to meet continually changing demands, desires, and needs on a basis that is challenging to the buyer but practical, reasonable, and economic.

o Use as much advertising as possible, urging people to buy neu. l-romes.

o Find rvays and means of financing and using better merchandising and selling procedures and methods.

o Find a system of linancing the Trade-In House on a basis that is practical and will not use up all the equity.

. FNXIA is an essential to a good housing market and it shouid lte amended and exDanded so that it can be used to stabilize the housing market in periods of financial crises such as lvas faced in 1953 and presently.

o Tax, fiscal and monetary policies should be studied and changed so that there u'iil not be discriminating practices favoring certain types of industries and penalizing otners.

Among these and many other points raised at the National Housing Center's first annual executive marketing conference, one area of agreement stood out, Chairman llughes' statement: "Both builders and manufacturers must now recognize tbey are inter-dependent parts of a single ir-rdustry and must pool their resources of knorv-horv ancl energy if they are not to be out-sold by other sections of the economy bidding for the consumer dollar."

Before publicly presenting the all-aluminum slicling sash, it u'as submitted to rigorous testing by independent testing laboratories. The ltylock sash meets or exceeds all specifications as set forth by the Aluminum Windorv Manufacturers Association.

"It's no less than amazing that a high-quality product such as the Rylock Sliding Sash can be offered in a competitive price field," Jones stated. "Rylock, which, has been noted for years for its fine quality of manufacturing, in developing this sash has answered the requirements of the industry for years to come."

The Rylock Sliding Sasl-r l ill be delivercd to building material dealers on11', complete and ready for installation.

fi'P cuts nature's redwood "packages" down to size

The prime California Redwoods harvested by Georgia-Pacific include some of the largest logs now being cut anywhere in the world. Many, like the one shown here. must be divided into sections before they can be handled by even the outsized saws at G-P's redwood mills.

But that's only the first step in repackaging G-P Redwood for profitable dealer sales.

Redwood demands an exacting drying process. At Hammond's drying yards millions of feet are in the drying process, often for more than a year. Laboratory-controlled kilns scientifically measure the specific moisture content desired for each usage.

That's why so many customers who mean Redwood Siding, Finish or Pattern, say "Ifammond".

,,A.CERTIFIED ,,al @SI-1"''t'@ HAMMOND

For a time-honored guarantee of the quality your customers seek include HAMMOND-stamped rcdwood in your inventory.
